This is far better than the snipping tool and well forth the $20 for the lifetime license. I definitely think this offers a great value for features compared to other more expensive competitors such as SnagIt

What do you like best?

The software seems to run very lightweight in the background, meaning it doesn't bog down the computer at all but it very responsive whenever I press the hotkeys to capture the screen. There are a lot of options available for how you'd like to capture the screen (mouse or no mouse for example) and then there's a pretty rich editing software available once you have captured the screenshot.

What do you dislike?

There's not much I don't dislike about the software but one thing that's a little bit of a pain is how Capture creates tabs for each screenshot. It's not terrible but I'd like options for how multiple captures are handled. Maybe have a tiled view with thumbnails or something of the sort. I also can't really tell if the lines showing the boundary of the capture are covering up pixels that are included or if it only captures inside the boundary lines.
